Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sakura lightly laughed at Susie's silly act when she jumped by her randomly kind jesture. But, its been some time since Sakura Ai has laughed, this was a great day indeed. She looked into Susie's eyes, sorrow was filling them, but a hint of happiness was slowly taking over. Almost like a small rose blooming into this cold world where humans greedly shred down forests.

Taking her hand with a warm smile, hopefully decreasing that sorrow she can fill from Susie just like how she made Raven fill happy around her. She shook it in a kind jesture and just simply smiled at her with a broadened as the moon shown some celestial rays down at her long silky lavender hair.

"My name is Sakura Ai Wonderland, but you can call me Sakura Ai." she said as she slowly took her hands back and placed them behind her neck. She then turned to the little black cat, and lightly kneeled, letting out kind waves at Susie and her little companion.

"Who is this cute little fellow?" she asked, her soft lavender eyes looking back up at Susie.

"Its wonderful to meet you Sakura Ai. I havent met any of the new students lately... You are new correct? When i was back here about 6 months ago i never saw you.. So i just assumed..." She scratched behind one of her ears and laughed a little nerviously. Though, as she looked into Sakura Ai's eyes with her icey blue onces, they seemed to soften some and warm up to her.

Susie then looked down and laughed a little as she scratched Artemis's ear. "Oh, this is my cat, Artemis." She smirked as he tilted his head towards Sakura Ai. "He seems to like you, thats a good sign. But then again, he always has liked girls. He gets jealous if i hang out with guys usually..." A smile spread accross her face and she laughed some at this as she remembered when he used to hate Uwasa.

"Well actually i'm sort of new, i first came here about four months ago..something like that" she said with a cocky grin on her face like it ain't no deal to her that she was new. This was her first time meeting a fox especially a black one with three tails. Wow, she must be a great with demonic elements, Sakura AI wasn't so hot in that kind of field. But she was good at her celestial element and the field of reserecting loved ones back to life. But resercting people is such a pain, you have to give up a personal item, even if it was your soul, in echange. Well, that was equalivent exchange for yeah.

She slowly placed her pale hands, but warm, on Artemis's head. He seemd really sweet and kind towards her, just like Nohea's cat Popoki. She looked at the cats eyes, he looked quite mysterious just like Susie.

"Artemis, just like the goddess of the moon" she said softly to herself. She is an angel, but she only serves the goddess of the moon and hunt, Artemis. Since she is a celestial being, unlike Leniar whom serves god. She looked up at the voice that seemed to be greeting them, it was Usawa's.

"Hello" she said with a cocky smile, last time she saw him was at the hot springs when she first came to Ria.

Susie looked to Uwasa and slowly nodded. "Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah im fine. Thanks for asking though." She laughed a little and then looked away from him.

Avoid eye-contact, stupid! Dur! Ugh... Man... Why... Thats all i have to ask myself.. Why...?

She looked back to Sakura Ai and smiled towards her and nodded. "Yeah, excpet hes a god not a goddess." She laughed a little and nodded. "I wasnt the one who named him. It was the person who gave him to me a long time ago." She sighed at the thought but then soon smiled again and her tails wagged slightly behind her.

Susie decided to ask Sakura Ai a usual question that was normally asked. "So, what abilities do you have, eh?" She tilted her head slightly and a few strands of her dark purple hair fell to the side of her cheek and she grinned.

Uwasa saw susie acting strange and decided best not to pursue it in front of other poeple.He then smiled at susie's question of what powers sakura had and decided to make a little comment."Aint that always the million dollar question."he said this as he leaned against the tree and waited for the answer with intrest. He looked over and saw kurai and poppy but decided from the look of things best to leave it alone for now.

He arched an eye brow at the word shadow and racied his right hand palm facing up and created an orb of shadow energy floating just above his hand."You mean like this but unlike you i do not use rituals my power comes from me."he closed his hand and it disapeared he then looked at susie."Hey speaking of elements youg otten any better with yours last time you had alot of power but no aim."He said sarcasticaly in a teasing voice.

Susie heard Uwasa and she just narrowed her eyes at him. She then lifted up her hand and smacked him upside the head. -.-;;

"Yes, my powers have grown immensely since then Uwasa... You have no idea. Lets just say.. Dont get on my bad side.. Alright?" She gave a mischevious smirk towards him and winked while laughing a little.

Sakura Ai smiled at Susie's reply, even though she doesn't really like the element of fire for certain reasons. She watched Usawa's hand engulf into an orb or spere of shadows. This caused her to chuckle lightly, he had a different style of shadow magic, in the world there are many definition's of shadows. Sakura Ai knows the intense style of shadow magic since she is the hier of the next Shadowmancer. Shadowmancer's are very independent but they live in the underworld, but after a war erupted between the Underworld and Heaven centurys ago, not many shadowmancers lived after that, they almost became extinct. So every century, one person is chosened to be a shadowmancer. Sakura Ai was chosen, but she is part angel. That means when she becomes older her powers decide what side she is on, either the underworld's or Heavens. She doesn't want to choose since she despises both Heaven and the Underworld.

"My powers are a but different and complicated since i'm part shadowmancer" she said with a smile, like it is a bliss to be part shadows, to have half your body made out of shadows, but it wasn't that great. Sakura AI can feel Susie hiding something, just like she was moments ago, but with a smile, she pretended she didn't feel the feeling of hiding something.
